Not Quite Dead Yet

Dear friends, I apologize for several months absence with no word. Health problems, including often debilitating allergies this summer, made a burn-out / near break-down difficult to re-emerge from. Between 100% energy to writing and 100% energy to my straight job (which went redline this summer) and 100% energy to my wife, I ran out of emotional, physical, and metnal energy 200% ago.

That's no excuse for not keeping you posted, just an explanation.

I am resurfacing and hopefully will manage my writing in a better way this time around and figure out how to balance all the different aspects of my life. For someone with a perfectionist's desire to do everything full-on, that won't be easy. Your patience and your advice are both appreciated.

I look forward to reconnecting with you all.

.Nevets.

  1. Welcome back, CN. It's been much less macabre without you at FF.

    The twitter suspense thing was pretty suspenseful for the first month. (wink)

    Looking forward to your posts.

    B.
